"The work of packeting, assembling 

 and mailing the vegetable and flower 

 seeds was done under a contract at a 

 cost of .$1,101/2 per thousand packets, 

 which included delivery of the ])acketed 

 seed in* mail sacks direct to the Union 

 station. A new contract has been en- 

 tered into for putting uj) and mailing 

 the seeds for the coming distribution at 

 a saving over the former contract of 1 

 cent per thousand j)ackets. 



"Approximately 12,0(){) pecks of four 

 improved varieties of upland cotton 

 develoj)ed by the department were dis- 

 tributed in the cotton-growing states 

 last season. The continued distribution 

 of these inii)roved cottons, with the ac- 

 companying circulars which contain de- 

 tailed instructions for the home selec- 

 tion and improvement of seed, has re- 

 sulted in widespread interest in seed 

 selection in the south.. 



"The propagation of Dutch bulbs in 

 the Puget sound region in connection 

 with the congressional distribution is 

 progressing favorably. Trial sets of 

 narcissus and tulip bulbs propagated 

 near Bellingham, Wash., were i)lanted 

 at Washington, D. C, with sets of bulbs 

 of the same varieties imported from 

 Holland, and the Bellingham bulbs pro- 

 duced better blossoms ten days earlier 

 than the imported "bulbs. The early 

 blooming period of American-grown 

 bulbs is of importance to all jtrofes- 

 sional florists, because of the saving in 

 time and fuel where bulbs are forced 

 for market."
